#Slideshow Settings

Slideshow Settings let you fine-tune exactly how your still and live memories appear on your frames. Open them from Settings → Slideshow Settings, or from the settings icon on any frame.

#Still memory display duration

Controls how long each still memory stays on screen before moving to the next.

Short (5–10 seconds): Creates a lively, ever-changing display.
Long (30 seconds to a few minutes): Feels calmer, more like a classic photo frame.

#Transitions

Choose the animation that plays between still memories:

Dissolve: A smooth crossfade. Works beautifully for any type of memory.
Slide: Memories slide in from a chosen direction (left, right, up, or down).
Swipe: A swipe gesture feel in any direction.
Effects: Elastic Pulse, Flash, and Crumble for a more dynamic display.
None: An instant cut with no animation.

All plans include every transition style. Dissolve is the most popular choice for home displays.

#Playback order

In order: Memories play from first to last, then loop.
Shuffle: Shown in a random order. Great for large collections.

#Still vs. live memories

Toggle whether live memories play during the slideshow or are skipped.
Set whether live memories play with audio, at a lower volume, or silently.
Set a live memory duration limit so very long clips don't dominate the slideshow.

Premium feature: Live memory playback in slideshows requires a Premium or Elite plan. On the Free tier, only still memories are displayed during slideshows.

#How memories fill the screen

Fill: The memory fills the entire screen (edges may be cropped if its shape doesn't match the screen).
Fit: The full memory is always visible, with bars on the sides or top if needed.

For most setups, Fill looks best on landscape screens.

#Slideshow passcode

Lock the slideshow so it can't be stopped or changed without a code. Useful for frames in shared spaces.

To set this up: go to Slideshow Settings → Security and enable Slideshow Passcode. See Security & Passcode for more.

#Resetting to defaults

If you want to start fresh, tap Reset Settings at the bottom of Slideshow Settings and confirm. All values return to their defaults.

#Starting a slideshow

Once your settings look good, head to Frames, tap a frame, and tap Start Slideshow. Or open any album and tap Play.
